Thanks Darcy,
Are you building a Hi or Low comp. motor?

Hi Jim

I built the high compression, it's been a real challenge. Which version are you building?

Darcy,

I'm pondering building the low comp. It's a '64 Savoy.

What class were you thinking?

Jim, the low comp is at 395HP compared to 415 for the high comp. If you run the car in SS/EA that's 160lbs difference.

Hi Paul

The intake is a challenge. Have you built a SuperStock Wedge?

Hi Darcy I haven't built a SS Max but I've done a lot of flow work with the Max and the standard heads with various mani's, stock, aftermarket, sheet metal etc. I'll send you a PM, not sure if it will help but I'll share what I know, Paul.

Paul,

I've been looking at the Mod Man manifold by Indy, it may take some welding to get the right off set but it will clear the hood, of course, the other option is a hand made manifold by Wilson or some one else. If I remember correctly the stock cross ram runs out of flow around 6000rpm.

Hi Darcy, Just wondering where you had trouble as these are pretty simple motors for the most part, I'm thinking the mani would be the most challenging part as well as hood clearance.
